4/26/15 Week's Highlights

Every week seems to be a busy one for track athletes, coaches, and parents. But as the season begins to wind down toward the pending championship races, the stress of competition juxtaposes with the fatigue of the long season. My advice...hang in there and the long hours of practice will usually lead to the times and places you have been seeking.

On to this week's best marks

ENOCHS AT MODESTO DUAL
